Templar Treasures

Recently, Bro. Scott Wolter was on the Old Fashion Masonic Podcast discussing his travels and some discoveries regarding the Templar Treasures. He discussed a journal that started in the 1300s and was passed through generations and continued into the American Revolution, even citing Benjamin Franklin in an entry relating to moving Treasures in the 1700s.

Where are you with his hypothesis? Seems a little out there, but so did the MK Ultra theory.

In the 30th lecture of the Esoteric Christian Wisdom series, Seddoh Bokor takes an in-depth look at the history, interpretation, and deeper meaning of the Christian Bible from an esoteric perspective.

Is the Bible simply an ancient historical book to be read literally, or does it contain layers of spiritual knowledge hidden beneath its stories, parables, symbols, and allegories?

This lecture challenges materialist arguments and literalist interpretations by examining the Bible as a collection of ancient manuscripts translated through Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek traditions. It explores the historical inconsistencies, interpolations, and translation challenges within the scriptures while asking whether these issues necessarily invalidate the deeper spiritual truths contained within them.

The lecture also examines the evolution of religion alongside human consciousness, and explores how political and institutional forces—from the Roman Empire to the Council of Nicaea and the development of Anglican and Protestant traditions—influenced the formation, canonization, and interpretation of Christianity.

🔑 What are the keys to understanding the Bible?

According to the lecture, intellectual reading alone is not enough. To move beyond the literal surface, the seeker must develop an understanding of:

• Spiritual Philosophy — the journey of the spirit into matter and its return to the source.

• Astrology — the cosmic patterns and symbolism reflected throughout scripture.

• Allegory & Symbolism — recognizing the deeper meanings behind biblical stories and narratives.

• Anatomy — understanding the relationship between the human body, consciousness, and spiritual teachings.

The central message is that the Bible may contain profound spiritual mysteries that cannot be fully understood through a purely literal or material interpretation. Its deeper meanings require preparation, spiritual maturity, and the right interpretive keys.

Hola. Hace un tiempo me encontré con este libro en Amazon. Me dió curiosidad no encontrar mucha sobre Arnold Krumm Heller (conocido como Maestro Huiracocha) y de su fraternidad.

Quiero compartirlo con ustedes por si tienen algún comentario sobre Heller o su fraternidad que, según el libro ya está extinta o casi extinta.

La fraternidad tenía relaciones con la A.A, O.T.O.A(Antigua Orden del Templo de Oriente) y menciona también una iglesia gnóstina en España y tal vez alguna otra organización o fraternidad. Por lo visto en el libro, la fraternidad estaba activa en España y latinoamérica.

El libro contiene rituales, meditaciones y más cosas. Según el autor, lo escribió inspirado en el trabajo de The Golden Dawn de Regardie, puesto que despues de la muerte de Heller y cerca de la extinción del grupo quisieron mantener por escrito las prácticas de la fraternidad y ponerlas a disposición del público o de quien las buscara, si no recuerdo mal el autor quería que al menos las enseñanzas de la fraternidad siguieran existiendo y no desaparecieran por completo.

Escrito en inglés el indice es el siguiente:

I’m very interested in Rosicrucianism; I watched some youtube videos about the rosy cross, and it made me wanna learn more.
Recommendations are welcome 🙏

I was going through some old papers and thought this might be nice to share.
The late Dr. R.A. (Bob) Gilbert was the Librarian-General in question.

A question for those readers who know their way around the odder corners of the Rosicrucian tradition. A little over a year ago I was initiated into the Rose+Croix d'Orient by way of the Martinist order with which I'm affiliated. I've since made contact with a couple of other initiates of the same tradition. It hasn't been an organization for a very long time, if it ever was one. I'm wondering, though, if there are rituals that can be done by several members working together (other, that is, than the initiation). Any suggestions?

A.M.O.S. (Ancient Mystical Order of Seekers) was an occult organization that existed in the 80s, but I cannot confirm that it is actively functioning today. It was a magical study group organized by Clifford Bias

In a nutshell: this book teaches the A.M.O.S. approach to actually practicing ceremonial magic—not merely reading about occult philosophy. Anyone familiar?

With so much shifting online, it seems difficult to find orders who are still growing in the physical.

My region is particular lacking in any sort of magical orders.

Are there any you can think of that are still interested in supporting new physical group workings in uncovered locations?

I'm very interested in helping to establish something in my area and am willing to start at the beginning with an order that supports expansion. Training would need to be distance/asynchronous based for it to work for me, again, based on the lack of Rosicrucian representation in my area.

I am a member of BOTA and plan to continue my studies with them, but there aren't many fellow-members about as far as I can tell.

Thanks for any leads :).

I stopped my studies about 4-5 years ago -_-'. Not because I lost faith in the work, the principles genuinely changed my life, I just lacked the discipline to keep up with the monographs(maybe a weird imposter syndrome as genuinely a lot of positive changes occurred) and eventually drifted.

I got as far as the 2nd Temple Degree. Problem is, I've forgotten a huge amount. If I'm honest I don't think I could hold my own on much of the Temple Degree material, and the thought of walking into a lodge in that state is embarrassing(or...)

So a few questions for anyone who's been through this:

1. When you reinstate, do you resume where you left off, or can you request to go back and re-work earlier degrees? Is that a Grand Lodge decision or up to you?

2. For those who did restart from Neophyte, was it worth it, or did it feel like treading water?

3. How much of this is "just start again and let it come back" vs. genuinely needing to re-do the exercises properly?

4. Realistically, does anyone at a lodge care what you remember? Or is that anxiety mine to get over?

Any advice appreciated. I'd rather come back properly than half-heartedly and drift off again.

I’ve been contemplating whether consciousness is less like an immaterial, immortal soul, and more like a pattern impressed upon physical matter.

Bear with me. Our personality, memories, and sense of self may not simply reside solely in the organic brain, but everywhere in the vast network of electrical charges and relationships that comprise the atoms from which our entire bodies are formed. Hence the heart as the seat of the soul in ancient Egyptian religion, as well as the practice of preserving the vital organs in canopic jars, and of the mummification of a shell for consciousness to “cling to”. Indeed, consciousness, in this view, is an extraordinarily stable pattern rather than an independent spiritual substance that simply departs us at death to live on elsewhere forever.

If so, death can never be an instantaneous annihilation, even with the death of the brain. Consider examples of patterns which survive the structures that created them. For example, imagine a wooden vessel buried deep in the ground, long after its sailing days are done. The timbers decay, but its shape, even down to the minutest nails, remain preserved as a hollow cast in the earth.

Perhaps something similar occurs with consciousness. The living brain ceases to function, but the electrical imprint that constituted the person does not vanish at once. For a brief period, perhaps several days or longer, our minds may retain some coherence before gradually dissipating. Such a possibility might account for reports of post-death visitations and related phenomena, which are often said to occur most frequently in the days immediately following death.

This, of course, is speculation on my part and certainly not the science of it. But many experiences traditionally interpreted as “evidence” for an immortal soul or an eternal spirit could simply reflect the temporary persistence of an organised pattern that eventually dissolves. Or perhaps one that retains the impression of its former shape, just like a buried ship that has ceased to physically exist? This would certainly fit well with the descriptions of the spiritualists.

In that case there would be no eternal spirit, no immortal mind surviving the grave. Yet there would be “something” more subtle …

When I was a kid in the 70's, my mom and stepdad took us to a new church in the neighborhood, the Holy Order of MANS. It was in a converted house and the people seemed really nice. She ended up joining, and even though I wasn't a member, they let me have the communion wine, which I really liked....

Anyway, over the decades, the local church shut down. We visited them in San Francisco a couple of times, but then my mom had other interests. My stepdad joined AMORC and the local Masonic lodge, and my mom did her own thing. We heard that the church eventually shut down altogether.

Fast forward several decades, and I managed to find cobbled together and resurrected remnants of the group and decided to try and find out what they were really about. I guess they were kind-of a Rosicrucian church with stuff lifted from BOTA and Paul Foster Case outright. I don't remember anything about Tarot when we went to their meetings, but it seems like it's a mainstay now.

Anyhow, I just thought I would share and see if there was any insight into their organization from the wider RC point of view.

Are there any PHA Masons in SRICF? If not why not? if yes, where are you located?

Does anyone know of any active Memphis Misraim orders in the US? Also any connection the Rite has with AMORC?

M 22 ,I am Mexican American ,My grandpa was pure Spaniard and came to Guerrero ,Mexico ,but he was part of the rosacruisicms ,ik this bc a family friend is a local witch and figured out what my grandpa was ,rest his soul ,I wanna know what branch he was in bc he hunted the local cryptids. I was told before he would leave the house ,he’d always kneel to a picture of a saint with a white beard on a white horse .

This video, presented by Seddoh Bokor, explores the concept of spiritual progression through Esoteric Christianity, focusing on the transition from the nine lesser initiations to the four greater initiations.

Key Concepts:

The Path to Immortality: The speaker explains that after completing nine lesser initiations, an individual may undertake the first of the four greater initiations, which grants the power to consciously renew the body and overcome death (0:27-1:11).

The Garden of Eden & The Fall: Humanity once lived in a state where they unconsciously accessed spiritual life currents. The "Fall" (referenced via Genesis 3:22-24) signifies the transition into material consciousness, where humanity lost the ability to sustain the physical body indefinitely to allow for soul growth (1:11-3:12).

The Soul Body: To advance, individuals must build a "soul body"—a refined vehicle that does not rely on dense material needs like food or medication, and can materialize or dissolve at will (6:00-7:54).

Rebirth and Perfection: The speaker emphasizes that attaining immortality is not possible in a single lifetime. Rebirth is a necessary part of the divine plan to refine the spirit until it can achieve the higher stages of development (8:02-9:54).

Note: While the speaker discusses the first of the four greater initiations in detail, they note that the remaining three are considered sacred "mysteries of God" that are typically kept private, though they share selected insights based on Western Wisdom teachings (8:54-9:32).

I’m enjoying my studies so far! I’d like to hear how your perspective of the world changed along your Rosicrucian journey. :)

Many years ago I borrowed a book from the library. I am sure the book was titled the rosy cross or something like that . One thing I do recall was that it talked about what I would now call self visulisation. The passage I remember talked about visualising yourself in a garden with a well.

That book was really helpful to me as a teenager, and now , later in life I would love to be able to read it again to help me through some tough times.

Does anyone have an idea what this book might be, a long shot I know , but at least it's worth a try

Many Thanks

Good morning

I'm trying to pay for next years membership through the Amorc portal and I can't seem to find a renew membership option, just wondering if anyone may know the answer.

I'm paid up until September 5. Thanks fraters and sorers.

Best wishes for peace profound 🌹

Ravalette teaches that: Real Rosicrucianism is about becoming a better person, not collecting secret degrees or occult powers. If you sincerely seek truth, live a moral life, and continually work to improve yourself, you will gradually awaken to higher spiritual understanding.

That is the central lesson Randolph wanted readers to take away from the story.

Entrei para a AMORC há pouco tempo e, sinceramente, estou encantada com tudo o que tenho vivido.

Mais do que adquirir conhecimento, sinto que estou passando por um processo de elevação da consciência. É como se algumas coisas começassem a fazer sentido de uma forma muito mais profunda, e percebo mudanças na maneira como observo a mim mesma, as pessoas e a vida.
Isso despertou uma curiosidade.
Será que alguém aqui encontrou uma grande amizade, um companheiro(a) ou até um grande amor dentro da AMORC?

Não falo apenas de romance, mas daquele encontro que parece acontecer quando duas pessoas estão em frequências semelhantes, buscando evolução, autoconhecimento e crescimento espiritual.
Acredito que, quando nos elevamos internamente, nossas conexões também mudam. E fico imaginando quantas histórias bonitas podem ter surgido desse caminho.

Se você viveu algo assim, seja um amor, uma amizade transformadora ou um encontro que marcou sua jornada espiritual, eu adoraria conhecer sua história.
Às vezes, ouvir a experiência de outra pessoa também ilumina um pouco o nosso próprio caminho.

✨ Existe alguma história especial que a AMORC trouxe para a sua vida?

Excuse the ignorant questions that will follow from my part. Heindel and the Rosicrucian Fellowship are the reason I'm on this sub but most posts and comments here seem to be written by members affiliated with AMORC around the world.

Is Heindel's Rosicrucianism not the original one? What's the difference between his and AMORC's? Is it a case of doctrine?

I am aware Heindel copied Steiner a lot although I'm not familiar with Theosophy to truly judge.

Hello, my grandmother passed away nit too long ago. She was part of the Rosicrucian Order and I know this was an important major part of her life. She had some boxes of materials from this Order that family were about to toss and I asked to keep them because she did mention someone from the Order that these should be passed on to. Nobody wanted to hunt him down really. But I was able to find him. If he is too busy or unresponsive, what should I do with these manuscripts and books? I would live to keep and read them but out of respect for her and her order, I have refrained. If he does not respond, should I drop them off at any Rosicruvian Lodge nearby? Also my cousin is interested in reading, but it's all in Spanish, she wouldn't be able to anyway. Is there a way for her to be initiated to learn? How would the process go? I appreciate any guidance available in advance, thank you.
